But I was ignoring a few things.
- My son's breakfast has included cookies on several occasions. Note I said included, he has also had Cheerios and juice at the least. But my usual stony resolve on "no cookies for breakfast" has completely crumbled this week.
- The toys have not been put away. Tonight or any night this week. On the days he was in preschool, it didn't get too bad, but today...
- And that's ignoring the Cheerio, cracker, and cookie bits that decorate the living area floor. I'm thinking it might be time to get out the vacuum.

That's a relief to read, Mouse! I'm on my own today (on about 5 hours of sleep after last night's T.O. gathering) and I've been thinking about your post and wondering "Why am I the only one who falls apart every time she's on her own for a day?"
Personally, I think regular rules about cookie-consumption/TV-watching are in abeyance whenever one's spouse is away.
We're on day 5 or so--though it feels like forever. The weekdays were not nearly as bad since we have a routine and he spends most of the daylight hours at preschool. The weekend has been wearing both of us down, however.
Yesterday included a meltdown at Ikea. Today he has entered the territory of acting out, mostly in the form of potty-training regression; he was in his sixth pair of underpants/pull-ups before noon.
My wife's plane looks like it will be slightly delayed. But the positives: my son is napping right now and, even if this flight were to be cancelled, there are two more this afternoon.
